Dulce de Leche Cannelés

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).

   Tip: Use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

2. 2

   In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the melted butter and mix until the dough comes together.

   Tip: Use a pastry blender or your fingers to work the butter into the flour.

3. 3

   Add the eggs one at a time, mixing until fully incorporated.

   Tip: Make sure the eggs are at room temperature for the best results.

4. 4

   Add the dulce de leche, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until the dough is smooth and free of lumps.

   Tip: If the dough is too sticky, add a little more flour.

5. 5

   Transfer the dough to a piping bag fitted with a large round tip.

   Tip: Pipe the dough into small, round cannelés about 2.5 cm in diameter.

6. 6

   Tap the baking sheet gently to remove any air bubbles.

   Tip: This will help the cannelés cook evenly.

7. 7

   Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the cannelés are golden brown.

   Tip: Rotate the baking sheet halfway through baking for even cooking.

8. 8

   Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 5 minutes.

   Tip: This will help the cannelés retain their shape.

9. 9

   Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely.

   Tip: Serve warm or at room temperature, dust with caster sugar if desired.
